SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) – A candidate entering the race for an open congressional seat in northern New Mexico is trying to make history.
Karen Bedonie is seeking the Republican nomination for Ben Ray Lujan’s seat in Congress. If elected, Bedonie would be the first Republican Native American woman in Congress.
She is the second Republican to announce. Meanwhile, 10 Democrats, including Marco Serna and Valerie Plame, are vying for the Democratic nomination.
The seat is opening because Lujan is running for Tom Udall’s U.S. Senate seat.

I believe every free American has the right to protect what is theirs; their homes, their children, their property, their children, and their person.
The beginning of the regulation of arms is the beginning of the end.  It's the prequel to the end of true Freedom.  Red Flag Laws are the means to control the People with fear.  
As Americans,  when the Government tells you "You do not need a gun."  Well, "You need a gun." - Native American Saying
Being a woman, a mother of five daughters, a sister of MISSING & MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN, a sister to victims of rape, witnessing violent harassment and criminal acts of terror over the meek, I believe in the 2nd Amendment so dearly, that I will fight to keep it untouched and unaltered as solidified on our Constitution of the United States of America.
And, by the 2nd Amendment, there shall never be another Long Walk ever again.  Amen.
